Glee, the musical comedy about the kids of a fictional high school in Ohio starring Jane Lynch, Lea Michele, Chris Colfer, Darren Criss, Kevin McHale, Matthew Morrison, Dot Marie Jones and Chord Overstreet, wins Best Comedy Program in its last year of eligibility for the award. Despite winning 3 acting awards (Chris Colfer 2013, 2015, Lea Michele 2015), and a directing award (Brad Falchuk 2013) prior to this award, Glee had never managed to topple the seemingly indominable The Big Bang Theory, but in its final hurrah, it ended the 5 year reign of the champions. Despite a couple tough years for the show off camera, the fans of the show still loved the shows on camera product enough to give it this years award as a final send off to the show.

The Big Bang Theory finds themselves in the unfamiliar spot of 2nd. After 5 consecutive titles, TBBT will be "runner ups" for now. Orange Is The New Black was well back in 3rd in their first finals appearance. Modern Family ties their best finals with their second consecutive 4th in their 4th finals appearance. Brooklyn Nine-Nine inches up 2 spots from last years 7th to finish 5th in their 2nd finals appearance.

2 Broke Girls are 6th...for a 3rd time in a row. The Goldbergs jump into their first finals in 7th. Shameless in their first finals get 8th. Jane The Virgin in their 1st finals was tied for 9th with New Girl, which was the same spot they finished in their only other finals appearance in 2013. Veep takes the final spot in their 1st finals in 11th.

The 2015 Best Of TV Awards Winner for Best Comedy Actor is Chris Colfer "Glee".

Chris Colfer "Glee" regains his Best Comedy Actor title that he relinquished last year to this years runner up & 2X winner (2012, 2014) Jim Parsons "The Big Bang Theory". Since the unexpected death of the shows lead male, Cory Monteith, a couple years ago, Colfer has stepped up into the lead role and grown his fan base substantially portraying the fashionable Kurt Hummel on the show. This years 1-2 finish of Colfer and Parsons ends a 3 year run of the pair finishing 1-2 in this category as Glee will not be eligible for next years awards.

Darren Criss "Glee" finished 3rd in this final year of eligibility on the show. Timothy Omundson "Galavant" was 4th and Chris Pratt "Parks And Recreation" was 5th.Andy Samberg "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" was 6th.

Lea was frequently a finalist in the category, making it to the finals 4 times, including last years 8th place finish. This is the first year she finished ahead of her co-star Jane Lynch, who this year finished 3rd. This ended the 4 year run of "The Big Bang Theory" winning it with Mayim Bialik (2012, 2014) finishing in 2nd this year and Kaley Cuoco (2011, 2013) finishing 4th. Sanwiched in between the former winners was Jane Lynch in 3rd. Kat Dennings "2 Broke Girls" rounded out the top 5 for the 2nd year in a row.

The 2015 Best Of TV Awards Winner for Best New Program is iZombie (The CW).

iZombie, now in its 2nd season on The CW wins this years Best New Show award. The series about a zombie outbreak in Seattle that the public seemingly doesnt know about. The show centres around the "life" of Liv Moore (portrayed by Rose McIver) a typical med student who went to a boat party that turned violent and when she woke up, in a body bag, she was a zombie. Since then, she gave up her promising career to become a medical exminer for the Coroners office. This gives her access to brains of the victims that come in to help control her urge for fresh brains. Her boss Ravi Chakrabarti (Rahul Kohli) is fascinated by her Zombieness and has been helping to try and find a cure for her, and all the others in Seattle who have the disease. When she eats them, she also gets the persons memories and personality trains, making each weeks episodes quite unique as Liv becomes more or less a different persone ach week. Tthis has led her to help solves crimes with Seattle PD homicide detective Clive Babineaux (Malcolm Goodwin), all while pretending to be psychic instead of the more awkward explanation that shes a zombie. With an ex-boyfriend Major Lilywhite (Robert Buckley) who is now a zombie hunter, a friend Peyton Charles (Aly Michalka) who is an assistant district attorney. Of course there have to be enemies, like former zombie turned back to human Blaine Debeers (David Anders) who sells brains to high end clients & isnt afraid to get them any way he has to. Stacy Boss (Eddie Jemison), the drug kingpin of Seattle. As well as energy drink mogul Vaughn Du Clark (Steven Weber).

Supergirl was narrowly beaten out by 5 votes, and not too far behind them was Agent Carter in 3rd just beating out Jessica Jones in 4th by 1 vote. Statistical oddity, the top 4 shows all have female leads. In 5th was Daredevil giving Netflix two top 5 finishers.

A 6th place tie happened between Fear The Walking Dead, and Sense8. In 8th was the TV adaptation of the movie Limitless. Back in 9th was Quantico. 10th is the musical comedy Galavant. In 11th is the critcally acclaimed Empire. In 12th was the Netflix comedy Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

Early on in voting the fight seemed to be between Agent carter, Jessica Jones and Daredevil, but as things moved on Supergirl and eventually iZombie pushed past them. Eventually iZombie grabbed a large lead on the back of fans voting for Bradley James in the Recurring Actor category which slightly overlapped. Supergirl closed the gap some down the stretch... but not enough in the end.

The 2015 Best Of TV Awards Winner for Best Guest Star is Enrico Colantoni "Person Of Interest".

Enrico Colantoni "Person of Interest" wins Best Guest Star in his 2nd consecutive year of making the finals of a category (Recurring Actor last year). The man who brings to life the bad guy who has a soft spot for the good guys, Carl Elias is officially the first actor on the show to win an acting award for the show.

Aleks Paunovic "The 100" had a solid run near the end of voting and moved all the way up to 2nd, coming from 6th with 2 days left. Nate Torrence "Supernatural" had the lead early on in voting, but too much vote splitting by SPN fans cost him a real shot at a win here, and he narrlowly finishes 3rd ahead of 2 other SPN Guest Stars, Travis Aaron Wade in 4th 1 vote ahead of Timothy Omundson in 5th.

Emily Bett Rickards "The Flash" finished in 6th, quite a bit further back than I predicted in my guesses for this category. Taraji P Henson "Person Of Interest" was 7th. Ksenia Solo "Lost Girl" nabbed an 8th place spot in her 5th consecutive finals for this character which included a 2nd place finish for "Recurring Actress" just last year.

Alycia Debnam-Carey "The 100" ran away with this years Best Recurring Actress award. Nearly doubling the 2013 winner Felicia Day "Supernatural" in 2nd. ADC managed an interesting double in this category, as she managed two top 10 finishes, also getting 9th for her work on "Fear The Walking Dead". Her character, earlier in these awards finished 3rd in Favorite Character voting, so it is quite evident that fans of The 100 are really loving her work on the series.

Felicia Day won this award just 2 years ago, but, couldnt manage another win, as she finished 2nd this year. Camren Manheim "Person of Interest" finished 3rd. Naya Rivera "Glee" in its last year on these awards got 4th just ahead of Caity Lotz "Arrow" in 5th.

Bradley James "iZombie" wins the Recurring Actor award, and becoming the 1st non-Supernatural actor to ever win it. The British star had the breif role as the zombie love interest Lowell Tracey for the lead character on the show before his tragic end on the series.

Richard Harmon "The 100" nabbed 2nd, and early on looked like he might run away with this, before his moment slowed. Winston Duke "Person Of Interest" was in the finals for his 2nd consecutive year, finishing 3rd this time. Curtis Armstrong "Supernatural" was the only finalist from the show that managed every previous winner of this award, but could only get 4th this year, up from 6th place that he shared last year with an award winner in another category this year. Mig Macario "Once Upon A Time" finished in 5th.
